How to become part of the Accelerator?

To join the Accelerator, startups first go through a 12-week pre-acceleration program. During this period, after a diagnostic assessment and the design of a personalized plan, their entrepreneurial projects receive methodological support in the development of their businesses. They will benefit from mentoring sessions provided by a network of expert mentors, as well as talks and networking events.

Upon completing this pre-acceleration period, the top startups will be presented to a Committee that will select the startups that will proceed to the official Acceleration Program.
